Memorial Day 2008

We had some exceptionally pretty flowers this year in our yard. This year for Memorial Day, we decided to pick flowers from our yard to take up for Grandpa Rex and Grandma Bev. Every year the kids and I would go with Grandma, pick flowers from the yard, cut milk cartons in 1/2 and cover with tin foil and decorate the graves with Grandma and Grandpa would always be sitting in the car. We have fond memories of this. We decided instead of putting our flowers in a beautiful vase, to use the 1/2 of the milk carton with tin foil because somehow, that seemed right. Look at the beautiful Pink rose in the center of the arrangement. Jeff got me a beautiful new rose bush for our first anniversary which was May 24, the that is the first rose I cut from that plant...just because I love and miss you momma and daddy and wanted to share. Jeff was great to come up with us and sit and share stories with us. Jacey, Riley and Jocelyn were great to come up and share with us too. There were bunny rabbits all over the beautiful grounds...I have some wonderful memories of sharing time with Momma up there.
